I'm a support engineer for dental software. So difficult issues won't get immediate resolutions, and instead development will actually have to fix things because offices will be crying at them for a fix instead of at me.

But the world won't end.

You'll all be fighting in the streets for food by the end of next week. Logistics literally moves the world. 🚚

You mean the rice I eat that is grown mostly on other side of the world didn't appear at my door step magically???

Yup. I'm a warehouse manager. The logistics/ transportation/ warehousing industry is already stretched disturbingly thin. If we take away the people who run the places, the world will grind to a halt.

I pressed a few buttons on my computer and as a result am expecting a specific product to arrive at my door step later today.

The level organization and infrastructure required to make it so that I can have 1 of like a million products hand delivered to my door within hours of me deciding I want it is staggering to be honest.

I'm a forklift operator. A lot of things would stop outright. That, or become so slow it might as well have stopped.
